Rowing corralles fifth straight reg onal tite 'M' nine miss BTT despite taking series By Charles Paradis Daily Sports Editor Jeff Trzos can now make a claim that few others can. "At least I won my last game here at Michigan," Trzos said. Not only did Trzos finish his Michi- gan career with a win, but he also pitched a complete game at The Fish. With family on hand in honor of Senior Day, Trzos dominated Purdue (13-19 Big Ten, 24-32 overall) in the 7-4 win. In nine innings of work, the left-handed hurler struck out 10 batters and walked just two. Trzos' main con- cern was to continue the success the Wolverines (14-17, 21-32) had enjoyed all weekend, winning two of the first three games. "I didn't want to be the one to blow it," Trzos said. "We knew we had to win it, and we put ourselves into posi- tion to win." Trzos did give up two early runs to the Boilermakers, but his team was able to fight back. Down 2-0 in the third, Michigan rallied behind RBI doubles by Matt Butler and Blake Rutkowski. The Wolverines took a 3-2 lead, but By Albert Kim Daily Sports Writer In the shadow of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of the world's largest centers for nuclear reaction research, the No. 5 Michigan rowing team needed no help in keeping its own chain reaction going. The Wolverines won their fifth straight Central Region- al Championship this weekend in Oak Ridge, Tenn. "I think it's a huge victory for our program, because it's such a competi- tive event now," Michigan coach Mark Rothstein said. "It was an excellent team victory." SHOOTING Continued from Page 1 Madej said yesterday that Curry is in "good condition." "He's just relaxing right now in his bed," Julius said, adding that Markus has been up and walking, but that it is still unknown how long it will take him to fully recover. Julius also said his brother has not fully discussed the events of Fri- day night and Saturday morning. "We really didn't talk about everything that happened because ... he's more focused on recover- ing," Julius said. Several witnesses who live in the area recalled the scene that unfolded outside their houses. East Madison resident Jon Hom- mer was inside at the time of the shooting, but said he heard five or six popping sounds. Most people in the area said they assumed the sounds were firecrackers, not gun- shots. Rackham student Dmitri Williams said he saw someone from the party earlier was hiding at the intersec- tion, waiting for Curry and Diggs to walk by. "There were two quick pops and then four of five shots a second after that," Williams said. Michigan got off to an explosive start on Saturday, sending all of its boats into the finals and extending its regional undefeated race streak to 19. "Our depth is a strength of our pro- gram," Rothstein said. "Our novice, first varsity four and second varsity four boats race really well, and that set the tone for the regatta." The streak was broken Sunday by second-place finishes from the first varsity eight, second varsity four and novice boats, but the Wolverines were still able to pull out the team victory. Michigan exacted some revenge on No. 3 Ohio State, which had beaten the See REGIONALS, Page 14 Julius Curry said his brother also did not realize that the suspects had a gun. "He didn't even see the guy who shot him," Julius said. "He didn't know the guy had a gun. He didn't know he was hit. He just hit the ground, thought it was his leg. He didn't know he was shot in the back until he got to the hospital." Julius also said Markus did not know the group of people who pos- sessed the gun, but had "seen them around before." "We don't know who they are or why they are there," Julius said, adding that it is not uncommon for unknown people to attend house parties. "Of course you just accept every- body into your house," he added. "But they came there with different intentions." As of last night, the suspect in the shooting remained at large, Logghe said. Curry is a cornerback for the football team. He was temporarily suspended in November for domes- tic assault charges against his girl- friend. Carr reinstated him after he received one year probation in Feb- ruary. Diggs is a linebacker who played in all 12 games last season. DANY MOLOSHOK/Daily Michigan pitcher Rich Hill struck out six hatters in seven innings Saturday. more importantly, Michigan scored when it needed to. The Wolverines had been unable to move runners over early in the games and often fell behind as a result. Yesterday, Michigan was able to respond to the early Boilermaker onslaught and then execute on offense. While Michigan took care of its business, the Wolverines' win was not enough to get them into the Big Ten Tournament. Michigan did not make the six-team field, which is based on winning percentage. This is the second time in three years that Michigan failed to make the postseason. In the sixth inning with the game tied at three, first baseman Nate Wright stepped to the plate with two runners on base. Wright bashed a sin- gle to center field, scoring Mike Sokol and the game-winning run, scored by See BOILERMAKERS, Page 14 SCOREKEEPERS o $1.00 CALL.E DRINKS M FRIDANIG.c 27 Taps!
